In 1845, Michael Faraday discovered what’s known today as the Faraday Effect—which describes how light and electromagnetism ...

The physical nature of light is an intriguing scientific mystery as it behaves like a wave in free space and as a particle when it interacts with matter. The theoretical work on light as an ...

In a mind-bending, and light-bending, discovery, scientists have produced a fun-house-like warping of light that defies existing laws of physics. For centuries, simple equations (taught every year to ...

Albert Einstein's most famous equation, E = mc2, used in the theory of general relativity, has been used to create matter from light, scientists have said in a new study. Researchers from New York's ...

In a stunning demonstration of one of Einstein's most famous equations, physicists are claiming to have created matter from pure light for the very first time. Albert Einstein's famous E=mc^2 equation ...

• Simple models of light interception are useful to identify the key structural parameters involved in light capture. We developed such models for isolated trees and tested them with virtual ...

Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), also known as Quasi-Elastic Light Scattering (QELS) or Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (PCS), is a widely applied method to measure the size of particles dispersed in a ...

So far, the team has measured several effects, including wave steepening, shock fronts and solitary wave fission thanks to the chip. While these nonlinear behaviours had been predicted in superfluids, ...
